Tamzin Outhwaite returns to Hampstead Theatre this autumn to star in the debut play by actor Simon Paisley Day, Raving, an intelligent comic study of modern parenting and matrimonial tribulations. The former EastEnder actress plays new mother Briony who, along with husband Keith, is treated to a relaxing weekend away from all the trials and tribulations of parenthood. Their friends, the delightful Ross and Rosy, organise the trip to Wales where there will be absolutely no children. But what should have been a peaceful getaway turns into total chaos as other characters come into the mix. Outhwaite previously appeared at the Hampstead Theatre in Di and Viv and Rose and has established her theatre credentials with acclaimed performances in Sweet Charity and Boeing Boeing, the 2007 French farce in which Mark Rylance also starred.

The Hampstead Theatre has existed in various forms since 1959, when it opened in a Scout Hall and its opening season in 1959 included two new plays by Harold Pinter, The Room and The Dumb Waiter. In 1962 the company moved to a portacabin in Swiss Cottage where it remained for nearly 40 years. More about Hampstead Theatre
